In the following section, we provide the ontological engineering using DL-based
definitions for the activity resource coordination. We utilize the aforementioned
discovery and supplier selection process in infomediary-based e-marketplaces
as examples of e-business processes problem domains to illustrate the process
knowledge and the activity resource coordination mechanism. We utilize DL as
the knowledge representation formalism for expressing structured knowledge in a
format that is amenable for intelligent software agents to reason with it in a normative
manner. Understanding the inherent relationships among business processes
within and between organizations is a key topic of the information systems field.
The use of standard DL in developing semantic models allows this approach to be a
truly implementable framework using W3C??™s OWL and OWL-DL without loosing
theoretical robustness.
